System and method for turning well over to production

Abstract

A system and method for turning a well over to production. The method may include drilling a wellbore using a drillstring, casing the wellbore, fracturing a reservoir, drilling the wellbore to a plug back total depth using the drillstring to clean out the wellbore, and converting the drillstring from a drilling mode to a production mode.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method for turning a well over to production, the method comprising:
 drilling a wellbore using a drillstring; 
 casing the wellbore; 
 fracture stimulating a reservoir via the wellbore; 
 after fracture stimulating, drilling the wellbore to a plug back total depth using the drillstring; and 
 after drilling the wellbore to the plug back total depth, converting the drillstring from a drilling mode to a production mode without removing the entirety of the drillstring from the wellbore, 
 wherein when the drillstring is in the drilling mode, the drillstring includes one or more of a drillout bottomhole assembly, first and second gas injection control nipples, first and second profile nipples, a backpressure valve, a workstring, and first and second crossovers, and wherein converting the drillstring includes: disconnecting the drillout bottomhole assembly; deploying a reverse flow check and orifice valve to the first gas injection control nipple; and removing a portion of the drillstring from the wellbore. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein drilling the wellbore to a plug back total depth includes drilling out frac plugs. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the portion includes one or more of the workstring, the first and second crossovers, and one of the first and second profile nipples. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , wherein converting the drillstring from a drilling mode to a production mode further includes:
 deploying a packer and crossover tool. 
 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 4 , wherein converting the drillstring from a drilling mode to a production mode further includes:
 deploying a telescoping swivel joint into the wellbore. 
 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 4 , wherein the packer and crossover tool includes a bypass access mandrel assembly, an on-off tool, a packer, a slotted nipple, a smooth bore seat nipple assembly, and a pup joint. 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 1 , wherein converting the drillstring from a drilling mode to a production mode further includes:
 deploying one or more gas lift mandrels. 
 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 7 , wherein converting the drillstring from a drilling mode to a production mode further includes:
 deploying a telescoping swivel joint into the wellbore.
